GSC

Gold I feel like matches manga the most here, he’s a bit tougher than say Ethan, but not quite as issue-riddled as spe!Gold, he doesn’t second guess his moves and feels more confident in himself, he does have a bit of a “mean/tough” streak in him, but still is open that he has a heart of gold.

Silver is tough and mean, he’s a jerk, he’s angry, he is the type to get in a fist fight and win just cause someone looked at him wrong. Of the games, he’s the vicious one.

HGSS

Ethan is a mischievous sweetheart, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s going to go all out to help his friends and his pokemon, but he’s not as tough or mean as Gold in GSC, and he has a different name lmao

Silver is mean but in a different way than GSC, he’s more spoiled rich boy who has never been told no mean than vicious mean. He’s the type to claim to be able to fight and technically can because I’m sure Gio had him take fighting classes, but for the most part he won’t actually fist fight cause they might hit his pretty face (I think that spe!gold could make him cry lmao). I think he’s the most likely of all the silvers to take any money daddy offered, he clearly wears loubatons in masters lmao

Spe

Gold is mean he’s tough, he’s crafty and he’s also wayyyyy more sensitive even though he hides it, he has low self esteem, thinks he’s a shit trainer but also wants to prove everyone (including himself) wrong. He’s wildly self-sacrificial when it comes to the people he cares about, and treats them differently than everyone else. He’s the most likely to be a criminal

Silver is sweet, soft spoken, and shy. He’s kind and will help anyone but comes off as a delinquent. While he’s the toughest of all the silvers he also doesn’t want to hurt anyone, he also thinks he doesn’t deserve good things and that he has evil, but does everything he can to make himself good. He’s the least likely to take money from Gio, still living out of dumpsters…
